Opinion: Media contributed to Ferguson misperceptions

On Monday, justice was finally served in Ferguson, Mo., when a grand jury absolved Officer Darren Wilson in his shooting of Michael Brown, a thuggish brute falsely portrayed by the liberal media as a "gentle giant" or simply as an "unarmed teenager."

Brown, who used his size and aggressive behavior to bully smaller people, made the incredibly stupid decision to attack Wilson, who responded in a lawful manner, using his sidearm to stop the attack.

The grand jury, after reviewing all of the evidence including eyewitnesses whose recollection of the attack matched the physical evidence, agreed that Wilson acted in a reasonable manner.

Unfortunately, the media's hysterical misreporting of the attack led many people to believe that Wilson overreacted when Brown, the brute, was just surrendering by passively putting his hands up in the air; this misinformation about the attack was a major factor in triggering riots and ill-advised protests of the grand jury's decision.

It would be great if the media would focus more on getting all the real facts about an incident such as the Ferguson attack and not rushing willy-nilly to get the story out to the public.
